It sounds like you are facing compatibility issues with your ASP.NET Window Programming project when running it on Windows 7. The behavior you described, where the background color of your panel in the main window is not displaying properly, could be due to changes in the rendering or theme handling in Windows 7 compared to XP and Vista. Here are some suggestions to help address this issue:

Suggestions to Resolve Compatibility Issues on Windows 7:​

1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date on the Windows 7 system. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues.
2. Check Theme Settings: Windows 7 introduced Aero themes that can affect the visual appearance of applications. Make sure your application handles themes correctly.
3. Verify Control Properties: Check the properties of the panel control in your application, especially those related to colors and visual styles. Ensure that they are set correctly for Windows 7.
4. Use Manifest File: Include a manifest file in your project to specify compatibility settings. You can set compatibility mode to Windows Vista or XP in the manifest file.
5. Test on Different Windows 7 Systems: Test your application on different Windows 7 systems to see if the issue is specific to a particular configuration.
6. Debug in Compatibility Mode: Run your application in Compatibility Mode on Windows 7 to see if it resolves the issue temporarily.
7. Check DPI Settings: Windows 7 handles DPI settings differently from XP and Vista. Ensure that your application scales correctly with different DPI settings.
8. Update Code: Review your code for any specific handling or API calls that might behave differently on Windows 7. Make adjustments as needed.
9. Consult Windows 7 Compatibility Resources: Microsoft provides resources for ensuring compatibility with different Windows versions. Refer to these resources for additional guidance. By addressing these points, you may be able to resolve the display issue you are experiencing on Windows 7. If you continue to face issues, providing more details about the application structure and code specifics could help in providing further assistance.
